An XP ute diff is a better choice....5 stud, and bolts straight in.

But would that be right to run a 302 windsor though ?

Nope - XK - XP ute/van diffs are 4.1:1 ratio - Too low geared + the centres & axle splines are the same size used in Sigma's & Bluebirds - not very strong. A standard 250 fitted will blow an XP diff with very little trouble - let alone a 302W..

Actually, 3.50:1 was the std diff ratio for an XP ute with the 200 motor.

Didn't realize you were fitting a 302.....better off with a 9" made to suit.....depending on how much of a caning your going to give it, or how many GG's you want out of that 302.
